Of the 60 submissions to the inquiry into this bill, only one opposed it – the Department of Home Affairs. Shame.
We could end this horrible, blood-soaked chapter of cruelty tomorrow. The Greens’ Evacuate To Safety Bill will come before Parliament tomorrow. If passed it would finally bring the refugees still held offshore to Australia. That includes 66 asylum seekers on Nauru, and 92 people in PNG.
The only people standing in the way are Labor.
Now is the critical moment to call your Labor MPs and demand they pass this bill.
Refugees held offshore plead with Australia to be moved, saying ‘every day is suffering’
